I have a samba v3.0.x server that is a member of an nt 4 domain. I have an nt 4 PDC that I have effectively joined the server to. Using smbclient from a linux box I can connect to the samba server we'll call srvX using userid/pwd credentials from the domain and it works great. However, from a windows XP machine that is not a member of the domain, I cannot make a connection to srvX using standard username/password OR domain_name/username password. I was not aware that the XP box had to be a domain member to be able to access files for a domain member server. Is there something else I'm missing? smb.conf has security = domain workgroup = domain_name password server = * -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
